The new Index of Systemic Trends from the @DemocracyCollab is essential reading.

The warning lights are flashing across the economy, democracy, environment, and social cohesion.

The trends are clear, but Britain’s political response is not. https://t.co/i1wdLOsG4d

If you are within range of Newcastle then you might want to attend our launch of the UK Index of Systemic Trends, laying out why Britain is Broken by the numbers @HowardRReed @nmcinroy @NatashaJosette and Sally Young. Info from @JoanaRamiroUK @MrBenSellers https://t.co/3tGoNibXCw

After the Scottish indy referendum, Corbyn, Trump, Brexit, you'd think the establishment, even out of enlightened self-interest, would recognise the need to act, to intervene, to right the ship of state. But we have the most myopic and selfish political class in the rich world.

[Ethan Croft @EthanCroft98]

By no means the biggest story out of the latest Mandelson files release - but its remarkable that serving ministers actually spent their time trying to get fellow PPE grads to vote for Mandelson in the Oxford chancellor race. Clown country stuff.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Treasury Minister Torsten Bell agreed with Peter Mandelson that the Government doesn't do policy "well enough"

Bell: "Everyone seems to think it's someone else's job to get the policy right... which is very odd"

[Neil McInroy @nmcinroy]

#mandelsonfiles are clarifying. A UK Government where values are optional, policy is incidental, and facilitates high public office for egoed half wits. They also expose a Labour Party devoid of values consumed by petty rivalries and shallow sniping. https://t.co/g6tSlOtgx2

You are going to want to read this—which can be read as the @DemocracyCollab’s answer to the superficialities of the UK political and media debate and the bromides being peddled by Blair, Starmer, Streeting and Burnham.

'Policy first, politics second' says ex UK prime minister Blair. When in power he went for 'my power, above everything else' and 'dodgy evidence, before policy'. This disgraced man should be ignored.

Labour has 'no coherent plan' for country, says Blair

Great little piece by my @DemocracyCollab colleague @nmcinroy, based on his recent trip to Toronto. If you’re unsure about the tenets of Community Wealth Building & the potential therein, have a read. https://t.co/LNcu7pGVrP

[Democracy Collaborative @DemocracyCollab]

‘Public control’ with ongoing private ownership is not the same as democratic public ownership, which should be our aim with key sectors of the economy, especially infrastructure and public transport. https://t.co/KH8feKSZ0M

[Neil McInroy @nmcinroy]

Rotten idea. Bad optics with voters (dont like these political class/elites stitch up) and it makes Greens look lile supplicants and weak(are they Left alternative or not?). Green party must maintain party democracy, and polanski needs to ignore party grandees and Peers.

[Compass @CompassOffice]

The movement to beat Reform requires progressives to work together, not be adversaries.

@guardian stretches the truth, to make political pt. Whilst deprivation has fallen in inner city manchester since 2010. Across whole city it is unchanged. All that has happened is that many more affluent people live in city centre.

Meaningless, sanctimonious drivel from someone who handed over public services to US corporations and who wants to cede national sovereignty and democratic control to the unelected European Commision https://t.co/GTLuTPVN0x

[Neil McInroy @nmcinroy]

Milburn should be nowhere near any serious policy influence. He is a hasbeen chancer- up to his neck in corporate delivery of public services.

@FrancisStuart1 @ScottishTUC Great work!

[Francis Stuart @FrancisStuart1]

New @ScottishTUC report shows the wealth of Scotland’s 10 richest people has grown six times faster than average earnings since 1999.

Westminster & Holyrood must do far more to redistribute income, wealth & power.

Andy Burnham is tipped to reward the former boss of a dodgy think tank who called for people smugglers to be sent to Scotland with a Government job after helping to pave his route to No 10 https://t.co/TkBGR2Ncmy
